Have put these tyres on 3 different cars now and accumulated a lot of miles between them. I now won't buy anything else. I have been sold on the concept of all-season tyres for a while (they have got me out of trouble on more than one occasion) and had previously worked my way through a set of Bridgestones (Weather control) Continentals (All season contact) and the obligatory Michelin Cross-Climates. These GT Radials are every bit as good as any of those three but far cheaper. The Michelins, in particular, are crazy expensive for what you get in my opinon. In fact, the GTs are particularly good value when you bear in mind how long they last. No kidding, you will still have plenty of tread left after 30,000 miles. The others lasted 20/25,000 at best before the grip dropped off dramatically. They are also quiet (for an all-season tyre) and very smooth/comfortable. I don't drive like an idiot but they provide all the feedback and wet/dry handling and braking that I could ever need. Probably not the very best in snow but (of course) far, far better than normal summer tyres and proved to be excellent in the very icy conditions we had last year. On a wet motorway they inspire huge confidence and track dead straight. If you are buying four (and you should do so if possible) then it's a big saving over the "premium" tyres. They take a few hundred miles to wear in but once they do you will be amazed how grippy they are in all conditions. Highly recommended.
